No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

Still catching up here, but I wanted to ask, while I still recall. Or not...
...
something about formatting...

Oh! engineers, what sort of specification is appropriate for specialist engineers?
Engineers who create new compounds or find different ways to create old compounds?
A specialist in creating reactive agents and a different specialist in creating stable compounds?
A specialist in finding new stable compounds and a specialist in finding methods of forging stable compounds that produce specific structural properties?
Using a specific material?


Okay, I will lower my proposal to 240mm. How about a standard of mortars for light artillery, due to their ease of mass-production. Missiles for medium artillery, due to their rapid deployment. And howitzers for heavy artillery, due to their range?

Well, I suppose that a chemical engineer would be useful for finding new compounds.

So we can be pretty broad in our specialists, and one engineer can come up with new compounds regardless of whether they are metals, solid rocket fuels, high explosives, liquid fuels, toxic gas, or a nice wooden surface for our staff cars?

If their specialty can apply to that, I gather yes. Also, looks like we definately need mobile heavy howitzers. I'll put in priority to get the Hammer and K-1 factories finished(with the slight change for the K-1 to switch over to the 78mm cannon)

well i dont have any specific mechanics for it but yes if its in their specialty.

Great post! It was very well worth to wait

Nadaka, any info about trophies? Would be nice to know what we captured and what Capians generally use

Also, any gains on captured industry front?

I don't want to use up ALL my design proposals, so I was wondering if anyone could p[ropose we modernize our torpedos to allow for submerged firing, as well as increased range?(I'm re-adding iterating our sonar, since we NEED the increased detection ranges)

Edit: UR, we don't NEED a TD, we just need to modernize our K-1s to fit the new gun. Combined with the x2 400 kw diesels, they should be extremely fast and deadly.

We can do both because they'll fill slightly different roles

...I see the logic you're going for(I think). The new Badger TD would be an ambush and defensive unit right?(as well as being able to punch holes in bunkers with direct fire!) This would allow our fleet of tanks to press on without as much worry about rearward security.

However, I DID promise a vote to Taricus, and I want to save a vote for something we need or a counter-proposal.(unless he's got BMA backing him, then I don't need to worry and can vote for your project)

I think it's a very bad idea to rotate existing tanks for modification, modifing tank can cost up to half of the new tank productionwise ( refitting can, and will halt production of new tanks) and we need all of our current tanks ob the front, because Morovia Will send tanks

We made that mistake with badgers once, let's not repeat it during war when consequences will be much more severe

Please, edit it too just produce new tanks, we may pull older tanks from the front later. They are fine ATM

Point. If we capture factories near the front, we might be able to set up ad-hoc programs for it though...

Wow, that was a very, very nice update. Thanks, Nadaka.
Especially, it did work even better than I thought. Especially the surprise attack.


As for our priorities:
We still have 129 old Badger tanks. Those are useless currently against the heavy tanks, and not that good against their light ones. I propose we upgrade them to the TDs using the new gun or self-propelled guns.
Feather Biplanes: Well, we have two possibilities when using them: lose them to Flak or lose them to fighters... Maybe relegate as lighter ground support.
The new tank cannon is better than I anticipated; I'd upgrade our future K-1s with them, and not refit the others for now.

@tryrar: Remember, votes only after 24 hours ;-)

oops

Edit: Fixed, though it's not really gonna change unless people wow me with awesome projects we need :P


I'll mod your TD conversion proposal a little to include retaining 10 or so as training vehicles for tank school

What do you guys think of helicopters?
I think they are great for our logistics, 200 kg cargo that can land everywhere? Hell yes

May think about ASW helicopter based on it, but spent 3\4 of my proposal for what I think more important, ( maintaining air advantage\anti-tank weapon\howitzer to even things a bit)  so feel free to propose your own ASW helicopter:)
